Our Approach::

 

CCD employs an asset-based capacity development strategy, offering a wide array of programs and services that provide technical assistance, capacity building, and professional development opportunities for individuals and corporations. Founded by Executive Director K. Bain, our mission is firmly rooted in empowering Black and Brown individuals while simultaneously dismantling the systemic structures that have historically hindered these communities from thriving.

Who We Are::

 

Community Capacity Development (CCD) Worldwide:

Empowering Communities for a Just Future

CCD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fostering growth and healing in historically disenfranchised communities grappling with issues like gun violence, food injustice, mass incarceration, substandard housing, and inadequate education options. Our primary objective is the complete eradication of gun violence by providing essential support and resources to Black and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals.
